president obama's first debate performance put pressure on president obama to debate -- to perform at a certain level on tuesday. if president obama's performance level doesn't improve in the second debate, i think his poll numbers are going to take an absolute dive. we've already seen that they've gone down as a result of the disastrous first debate. a disastrous second debate certainly would be a fatal blow. i think what joe biden's debate performance did was stop the bleeding and give obama, give president obama the chance to live to fight another day. >> you said stop the bleeding. what do you mean by that? there are different views about how he performed. >> there's a lot of different views, but we know he didn't abysmally lose the way president obama lost. some saw vice president biden win. some folks saw paul ryan win. i saw it as a draw. but i know the next day or after the debate we weren't all saying this was a horrific performance. that this had been an absolute loss by joe biden. by that i mean he stopped the bleeding. >> yeah. >> he at least did not go in and lose terribl

as for president obama, most post-debate polls including cnn showed he had a good night. the question is, will it give his campaign new momentum and we can't say one way or the other for sure. which made what the obama campaign did this morning all the more curious. at about 10:00 a.m., they unveiled this 20-page glossy pamphlet that describes his plan to move the economy forward. it's got a fancy title, the new economic patriotism, a plan for jobs and middle class security. campaign says 3.5 million copies are being printed. keeping them honest, there are actually no new proposals in the pamphlet. it's basically a repackaging of the proposals president obama previously announced on subjects from energy to education. the campaign was clearly responding to criticism that the president hasn't laid out a clearer second term agenda. by putting out this pamphlet with no new ideas or information he's opened himself up to attacks by republicans who say it's just more of the same. joining me to break it all out is national political correspondent jim acosta, who is traveling with
